Hello, hello, all my people. What's up? It's Questlove. Recently, I had the opportunity to sit down with the one and only A$AP Rocky. He reflects on his journey from Harlem roots to global icon status and discovering the hip-hop origin of his name.

Okay, great, great, great way to start. Maybe you will cry. Ross Matthews. You know what kids always say to me? Are you a boy or a girl? Oh my God.
All the time. That's so funny. I know.

This is Dr. Jesse Mills, host of the Mailroom Podcast. Each January, men promise to get stronger, work harder, and fix what's broken. But what if the real work isn't physical at all?

Hey there, everybody. Welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ. It is Friday, January 23rd, and we are hearing for the very first time that acquitted Uvalde police officer after he received a not guilty verdict on those 29 counts of child endangerment for his role as he was called to the scene of the Robb Elementary School massacre. And with that, everyone, thank you so much for being here. He was very, very emotional in this interview.
You know what? It came late. I don't know how they edited this thing, but I was expecting to hear more from him. He's sitting there flanked by his attorneys, and they did most of the talking, quite frankly. And he's defiant. He's defending himself. He got emotional at the end. Look, there are some parts that you're in conflict with this guy.
Because he does stand by his actions. And when I say actions, a lot of people would say his inaction that day because prosecutors and obviously they pursued these charges against him because they said it was his inaction on that day that contributed to the deaths of 19 children and two teachers. A jury disagreed with that. But we all, I think at this point, know the story. It took law enforcement 77 minutes to ultimately confront that gunman. And Gonzalez was the first, if not one of the first officers on the scene that day. And by most accounts, people who were there, he was on the scene before the gunman actually went into Rob elementary school. And that is one of the main reasons prosecutors pursued those charges against him.
But Gonzalez defiant is a good word that he was defiant in this interview. Well,
Defending himself, I should say, because defiant almost sounds negative. But he has been the public face of a tragedy to a certain degree. It's his fault. He did it. I cannot imagine what his life has been like the past several years.
